I don't think that will ever happen!!!!!!

I know, but if it was ever achieved the populace could effectively control the economy through massive boycotting of whatever financial institution they chose. It's utopic at best but it sure would have a bigger impact than not eating fried chicken.

For every 12 minutes a name is added to the national organ transplant waiting list, and an average of 18 people will die each day from the lack of available organs for transplant. Please save someone's life by being an organ donor. Donate life. Done vida.

Week 7: Do not buy cocaine
As you all know, cocaine is bad for you. However, there are another reasons not buy cocaine. Farmers who plant cocaine are being ripped off by it since only less than 1% of the profits from the cocaine go back to the producers. Also, child labor is being used. They are breaking their backs and have to work themselves to the bone just for some people to high for a couple of hours. DO NOT BUY OR USE COCAINE.

Week 5: Celebrate Arbor Day

Long ago, half the planet's land mass was covered with trees. Now it it only less than a third.

In 1872, a man named J. Sterling Morton thought up an idea. His idea was to have a special day for just planting trees called the National Arbor Day. This started when 1 million trees were planted in Nebraska.

Today go plant a tree.
